We Couldn’t Want One More: Segway: What if you just don’t want to harm the environment by that short drive, but it’s a tiny bit too far to walk? Consider the Segway!! Segways are popping up all over and people are having the most fun being environmentally sound. Tom Cruise, Ed Norton, Brad Pitt, JJ Abrams run errands on their Segway HT's. Comedian Louie Anderson wants to buy Segway's as gifts for his friends. It is time that we think of our environment and have fun all at once... it is Hybrids and Segways for all!

Our average commute is more than an hour; the average price of a gallon of gas in L.A. is more than $2.25; and the average car produces more than a ton of air pollution per year.

Local entrepreneurs Jason Stemmler and Robert Aronoff, have announced the opening of Segway Los Angeles, a dealership devoted to the sales, rental, and marketing of the Segway™ Human Transporter (HT) – a transportation system that satisfies the concerns of environmentalists and truly embodies the technological promise of the 21st Century.

In the past few years, electric vehicles have become all the rage in Hollywood, endorsed by celebrities such as Leonardo di Caprio, Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, Alexandra Paul and Tobey Maguire. The HT is the next step in convenience and affordability.

The Segway HT is an electric, personal transportation device that can go anywhere you can: on sidewalks, into stores, down stairs, over curbs… Perfect for commuting to work, grocery shopping, or running errands, the HT enables environmentally responsible users to avoid traffic and parking congestion. The Segway HT is battery powered and emissions-free. With a range of up to 15 miles, it costs just under 10 cents to fully charge the Segway HT, and its energy efficiency is equivalent to 450 miles per gallon or 40 times that of an average full-sized SUV.

Located at 1660 Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, California, Segway Los Angeles opened last month to provide individual customers and commercial organizations with test rides, on-site sales, rental options, service for an exciting, expanding line of Segway HTs designed to meet every demand, and will offer free same day shipping to most locations throughout the United States.

The i Series model, for instance, is optimized for extended speed and enhanced performance on a variety of terrains, including dirt, grass, and pavement. Light, compact, and foldable, an HT can easily fit in a trunk, and up to 8 HTs can fit in one parking space. The Segway HT can ride right on to MTA’s light rail trains, and anywhere pedestrians can go. Its versatility, combined with a 12.5 mph maximum speed and 8 to 15 mile range provides more than enough speed and distance for the average Angeleno’s commute, making this HT an ideal choice for both commercial applications and personal use in suburban and recreational environments. The i Series model is available for a suggested retail price of $4,495. While the smaller, more compact Segway HT p Series is available at a suggested retail price of $3,995.

As a testament to the utility of the HT, Segway Los Angeles is proud to announce its dealings with the City of Santa Monica, which recently joined the growing list of municipalities increasing productivity and reducing operational costs through the use of the human transporter. And, in addition to its use by police and fire departments, private companies as diverse as resorts and warehouses are already using the Segway HT to enormous benefit. Versatile, efficient, and useful, the Segway HT is poised to become the vehicle of choice in the 21st Century. But, even still, its greatest advantage is that it brings the fun back to the L.A. morning commute.
